Wich tip toy use for wxp65? And wich flux and soldering wire?
Sorry was away for awhile, I use the XNT B mostly, sometimes the XNT A.
Although I have the XNT C I never use it, I switch to the WXP120 in such cases.
WXMP is a fine choice for smd, I do not use it as much as the WXP65 but that is a personal choice, for extreme small smd work however I do use the WXMP.
When reading Omicron post, he is 100% right, see picture, the wxmp has active tip technology where the sensor is closer to the tip and the response is faster.
For small smd pads that is the choice. For somewhat largers smd components as coils it might be a different scenario.
So I might retry the WXMP more often in the future, what I do not like about it personally is
that it is flimsy in the holder, meaning it drops out of the holder very often, not nice when it is 300C.*1Also the WXMP turns off more often even when I am still using it, so might be my monday morning iron with a flaky sensor but heard more people complaining about it.
I have to shake it hard to let it go on again, you can easily circumvent it to switch the settings to never goto sleep. Perhaps the newer irons are better.
If you want to do components which require more beef I advise to additionally get the WXP120 instead of the WXP65, together with the WXMP you have a good duo.
Flux I use is no clean from Felder because I could order a 1 litre bottle, I have three different bottles: needle, brush and hardpen.
I want to order the flux that Rossmann uses see his videos and website, I don't use flux much though.
Solder wire I use personally is Multicore lead solder 0,7mm for TH components also 0,45mm for TH and larger SMD, 0,23 for normal and tiny smd components.
*1This is probably my own mistake, the support was all out and supported the end of the solder iron. Watching a youtube movie 5 minutes ago I noticed the support was just as with the other irons closer to the rubber. I just tweaked with it and noticed that the first silver part of the iron after the rubber held is magnetic and the support has a small magnet inside. So this is probably the correct way for the holder, so I withdraw my statement and retry the coming weeks if this works better (probably will).
